RESOLUTION OF SUPPORT FOR CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT TO CREATE AN INDEPENDENT CITIZENS REDISTRICTING COMMISSION
RESOLUTION # 17 – 395
WHEREAS, the citizens of Michigan deserve a fair, fully transparent, impartial redistricting process without political malice each decennial for the drawing of the state legislative and congressional voting districts; and
WHEREAS, legislative and congressional redistricting has often resulted in gerrymandering of districts to favor one political party or another; and
WHEREAS, the current redistricting process creates a conflict of interest—as state legislators are effectively choosing their constituents; and
WHEREAS, the redistricting process should be conducted openly with real opportunities for public dialogue and feedback, not behind closed doors; and
WHEREAS, elected officials are more responsive to constituents when voters have a choice of candidates, thus increasing accountability and serving the best interests of the voters of Michigan; and
WHEREAS, public input and involvement in the redistricting process will empower our communities from the start by allowing communities to elect representatives who represent their interests on issues that are important to their lives; and
WHEREAS, the boundaries of state districts are currently drawn by legislative incumbents, often sacrificing the integrity of neighborhoods and cities; and
WHEREAS, the creation of a truly independent citizens redistricting commission devoid of political motivation or partisanship will help to ensure a transparent, fair and accurate legislative and congressional district process that uses impartial and sound methodology that respects the crucial requirements of the Michigan Constitution calling for districts that are equal in population, compact in size and respecting existing local government boundaries.
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Ingham County Board of Commissioners on behalf of the people of Ingham County hereby supports the principles of redistricting reform encompassed in the Voters Not Politicians ballot proposal which will enact the following amendments to the Constitution and state law:
The State of Michigan should establish an Independent Citizens Redistricting Commission, representative of Michigan’s diversity, partisan balance, and geography for all future redistricting. The Commission will adopt a redistricting plan for the state senate districts, state house of representative districts, and congressional districts. This Commission shall be comprised of 13 members, with a balance of four republicans, four democrats, and five non-affiliated persons. The votes to adopt any maps will require a majority from each of these three.
That district boundaries drawn by the Commission according to clearly described criteria, including respect for:
a. Districts having equal population as mandated by the United States Constitution, and shall comply with the Voting Rights Act and other federal laws. b. New districts approved by the Commission be geographically contiguous. c. Districts approved by the Commission will reflect the state’s diverse population and communities of interests. Communities of interest that may include, but are not limited to: populations that share cultural or historical characteristics or economic interests and that communities of interest do not include relationships with political parties, incumbents or political candidates. d. Districts that will not provide a disproportionate advantage to any political party. e. Districts shall not favor or disfavor an incumbent elected official or a candidate; f. Districts shall reflect consideration of county, city and township boundaries; g. And that districts shall be reasonably compact. h. Members of the Commission will be prohibited from all off-the-record communications with anyone (including lobbyists, political party officials, elected officeholders and candidates), except staff and legal counsel. i. Redistricting should occur once every ten years following the decennial U.S. Census and Congressional Reapportionment.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the County Clerk shall send copies of this resolution to Governor Rick Snyder, the Ingham County State Legislative Delegation and the Michigan Association of Counties.
